Boat team at Woy Woy

The Dragons Abreast Coast Busters dragon boat team will be fundraising for breast cancer awareness at Deepwater Plaza in Woy Woy on October 27.

Publicity officer Ms Vicki White of Woy Woy said the team of breast cancer survivors would be selling Pink Ribbon Day merchandise to raise funds for The Cancer Council and Dragons Abreast Central Coast.

Ms White said the team had also been involved with other activities and events during breast cancer awareness month in October.

"In a radical departure from the traditional breakfasts and luncheons of breast cancer month, a group of enterprising breast cancer survivors decided to treat the public to a breast cancer happening with a real, upbeat difference last weekend at Darling Harbour," Ms White said.

"An enthusiastic team from Dragons Abreast Central Coast joined in, pitting their strength on the water against rival teams who all headed to Darling Harbour to participate at the Inaugural Corporate and Community Dragon Boat Regatta.

"The Central Coast 'Coast Busters' crew consisted of 22 paddlers, which won third place in the Challenge.
